I loved dropbox, it was very useful. The Rice appointment was totally surprising, and the drop-dropbox page was fairly well-written, so I dropped Dropbox. It became immediately clear the company I thought they were and the company they are diverged some time ago. It doesn't really matter when, now.
My .bash_profile is much more of a mess now, but I'm more aware of where all my hard copies are. Before, I relied on Dropbox way too much to keep important stuff around.
Besides, tarsnap has a better CLI, am I right? ;)
- tombrossman 12y agoSame here, though it helped that they appointed her about 10 days before my paid renewal was due. I miss the ease of use and I've had to put much more work in to (mostly) match the features I gave up. Owncloud, cron, rsync, and a few other tools are all tested and working now, but it isn't as slick and requires occasional maintenance. I miss using Dropbox but there are some things that are unacceptable to me, and require a permanent change even if burdensome. It isn't that I trusted Dropbox before - I used client-side encryption for most files. It's appointing her and the huge 'fuck you' message it sends to those of us who care about privacy. There's just no overlooking it.
